The Site

This page contains some pictures of the Asphalt Plant and a timelapse video of the site from the year 2000 to 2025

From the video you can see how the development of the site has expanded over the years, with more machinery and turning this piece of land into a heavy-industrial site

The Asphalt Plant was introduce in 2023, however Google Earth did not photograph the site until 2024

One of our campaign ambassadors flew their aircraft "Campaign One" over the site, here you can see the close proximity to residential areas. This was a Sunday when the site was closed.

Another view from "Campaign One" on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Residential areas are only several hundred meters away from the asphalt production unit.
